Van Schoick Benefit Bash 2010
Welcome to the Van Schoick family fundraiser website. Our names are Robbi and Rebecca Van Schoick. We have the disease Friedreich's ataxia which is a rare, genetic, neurodegenerative, multi-system, life-shortening disorder. Its symptoms include muscle weakness, vision, hearing and speech problems, diabetes and heart conditions. About one in 50,000 people in the United States has Friedreich's ataxia.
Our October fundraiser, the Lone Star Benefit bash had to be rescheduled due to the weather. The new date is March 26, 2010 at Castle Hills Golf Club just outside of Dallas. Please visit that event’s website at www.lonestarbenefitbash.org.
The Georgia golf tournament and Bash are scheduled for April 30, 2010 at The Georgia Club, just west of Athens. This will be our last Bash and we hope to raise a record amount for FARA!
Thank you to all of you who have supported our family’s efforts to help FARA find treatments and a cure for Friedreich’s ataxia
